Frederick Jackson Turner Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I know there's a Deuce video out, but I have to add, having handled the new Navy Arms 12 ga. Coach Gun at the SHOT Show last week, I'm glad to see a new presence in the market. Val is a great guy, and he's clearly listening to the marketplace. With the Charles Dalys being vaporware, and Stoeger absent from the market due to supply chain issues, it's nice to see another player in the game It might even take some of the market pressure off the limited existing supplies of SxS for cowboys!

Hendo Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Heard about that on the radio the other day. Sounds like a quality scattergun at a decent price. Speaking of sound... Hud should think about broadcasting from the bathroom more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Bruce Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 How does it compare to the other shotguns coming out of turkey like the Iver Johnson 800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Who makes it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezra Hawthorne Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Go West said: Who makes it? Navy Arms. Looks like there's no double trigger model. Also Stoeger coach guns were about $400 compared to this one's $700, but they haven't been in stock for ages.https://navyarms.com/current-products/navy-arms-coach-guns/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I didn't think Navy Arms was a manufacturer, just an importer. Aren't these Turkish guns? I can't find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Here are the markings on the underside of the barrels. The word “Huglu” appears; is this the same company as Huglu that makes the CZ shotguns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I called Navy Arms and they said they are built by Genc-Huglu in Turkey. https://www.facebook.com/GENÇ-HUĞLU-SİLAH-SANAYİ-207397145961414/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Call Saul Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 so basically it is made by the same guys that make CZ sharptails... less embelishements.. I heard some mixed reviews on metallurgy on turkish CZs... might be a good range toy but how do they withstand heavy use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the firearms which we employ are a starting point for what can/might be made into a good gun. This will likely be one of them. Be mindful of the different levels of use which are in evidence throughout Cowboy Action Shooting, as your mileage may vary. And, to be fair, few folks take a NIB Uberti 1873 to the range, without work being done on it. I know a couple of cowboy gunsmiths that are already working on tuning, springs and firing pins for this one. Remember; the original guns were never meant to be shot as much, or as hard, as most of us use them. Keep that in mind, and you'll be ok.

Nothing available on the market can withstand the abuse that we put on a gun not even Ruger in it's stock form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
